Abstract
Thermally induced phase conjugation by degenerate four-wave mixing of nanosecond laser pulses in copolymers of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate a nd methyl methacrylate doped with rhodamine 6G in the weak absorption region, low-reflectivity regime, is reported. The potential of the pha se-conjugation technique for providing information about thermal prope rties of dye-doped polymeric compounds susceptible to be used as laser media is discussed.
